Position Overview

We are looking for a culture-obsessed creative content powerhouse to join our growing social team as a Social Media Content Creator. Sitting in the Yahoo Creative Lab, the Content Creator will work on developing both quickturn and planned strategic content for the @Yahoo social channels. This person will have a test-and-learn mentality (i.e.: you’re not afraid of experimentation or the occasional flop), with a creative POV you’re not afraid to share.

This person will have a finger on the pulse of current social and cultural trends, making sure our in-house social content always has a balance of what’s currently relevant and what’s true to our developing Yahoo brand identity. The person in this role must be extremely comfortable with all aspects of social content production (shooting, editing, motion graphics, design, etc.). There may be an occasional need to be on-camera. 

We’re looking for a stellar collaborator; someone who can take content ideas from the team and not only execute them, but up-level them. The person in this role will have ample opportunity to pitch and produce their own ideas, while also having the support of a team who will always be brainstorming ways to make Yahoo the brand to follow on social. The ability to both give and receive feedback is an absolute must.

Key Responsibilities:

• Bring Yahoo to life on social - Own the development and execution of @Yahoo’s social visual presence through owned video and static content creation.

• Work at the speed of culture - Develop both reactive and planned content to support Yahoo’s social channels. This is a content creation role!

• Help shift perception of Yahoo - Develop and implement creative content strategies that are aligned with Yahoo’s new brand positioning, marketing goals, and culture-first expectation.

• Know what’s up - Identify social content trends and be a key decision maker in what we’ll join in on and how.

• Be a team player - Collaborate with teams to brainstorm for larger, strategic social and brand activations as well as reactive cultural moments.

• Have a critical mindset - Provide POV and feedback on all social content.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Video Production, Graphic Design, Marketing, Communications, Social Media, or a related field

• 2-3 years of experience in a Content Production, Social/Brand Video Production, Social Media Creative, or adjacent role

• Experience developing both lo-fi and more heavily edited assets across various platforms

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, and in-app editing tools (IG Reels, TikTok, Capcut, etc.)

• Collaborative, curious, and not afraid to ask questions and share your perspective

• Experience working with cross-functional teams, especially when it comes to giving and receiving feedback

• Creative thinker with a POV on culture, trends, and what is and isn’t cringe
